Whilst there are still some remote areas of the world that are untouched by humans, very few areas of human life are untouched by machines.

Every aspect of our lives is affected by, informed by and guided by machines. We are more merged together than ever. It feels like we are evolving towards a more synthetic existence but this is only in our minds. Because of the expansion of our capabilities that these machines afford us, we think we could solve any problem at any time if we find the right piece of technology.

"Assemble Us" is like a mirror - reflecting part humans, part machines, designed and assembled to fit perfectly. This perfection though, is elusive, as these two forces try to interact and assimilate with each other.

Fernando Magalhães, aka MGXS, is a visual artist based in Portugal, who works by creating images using algorithms. &NewLine;&NewLine; He has always been interested in automation, creating protocols, and developing tools that amplify his ideas, as well as exploring different aesthetics. &NewLine;&NewLine;Over the past few years, his great need to create, refine and evolve existing shapes, patterns and forms,  has been channeled into a software technique that would allow him to create infinite digital outputs. Fernando acts as the catalyst for an artwork not by creating one piece, but establishing a protocol that creates infinite varieties.&NewLine;&NewLine;Website - www.mgxs.co | Instagram - [mgxs_co](https://www.instagram.com/mgxs_co) | Twitter - [mgxs_co](https://twitter.com/mgxs_co)
